To all whom it mag/concern:

Be it known thatI, ROYAL P. FAnrE's, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carbureters .for Gas and Gasolene Engines; and I do hereby declare the following to-be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same.

My device relates to improvements in can hureters for gas and gasolene engines, and has for its object to provide means by which either natural or artificial gas can be used and by which either can be cutoff and gasolene turned on instantly or vice versa.

Another object is to provide means to the accomplishment of these facts which are cheap and durable and which can be applied to any gas or gasolene engine.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

described in the specification and. succinctly defined in the appended claim.

Figure 1 is a general view of my device. Fig. 2 a vertical sectional view thereof taken on' the dotted line 6, Fig. 3 a view of the transverse section 17 (Fig. 2) looking from the bottom. Fig. 4 illustrates the gasolenc conduit communicating with the valve chamber. Fig. 5 a plan view of the guides 15 and 16 for the valve stem 43.

Similar numerals designate similar parts throughout the several views Referring to the drawings, Fig. l, is a perspective view of my device which is di-' vidcd into three sections 1, 2 and 3. These sections are removably connected together by screw threads 23 and 24, and each section is provided with a hexagonal portion asat 3, 10 and 38 so that wrenches can be applied for the assembling thereof. Threads 41 are made in section 3 for the reception of a gas pipe which conducts the gas into the device. Sections 3 and 2 are provided with transverse bridges 15 and 16 which have holes 42 in which plays up and down a valve stem t3. Fixed on said stem is a circular. valve 37, normally seated in section 2. This valve is limited in its upward movement by the member 15. In the lower end of section 2 is a partition 17 having a Specification of Letters r tent. Patented Feb, 10, 1914, Application filed June 13, 191a. Serial N 703,428, r

' series of holes is therein and integral areavithis a downwardly extending tube 19.

Section 1 will be referred to hereinafter as a generator and has a threaded portion 44 to receive a member which conducts air'into the generator, laterally extending therefrom IS a tube 4, which is for making connection- ;with the engine and an extension 2', intcriorly threaded to receive a gasolene conducting pipe, and-an extension 5 having an inner chamber 12 and areduced threaded extension 34: on which is screwed a cap 7 leaving therebetween a chamber 35 which is filled with any suitable material for a'packing. Through said extension and packing extends a rod 9 on the outer end of which is a thumb-knob 8. On the inner end of said rod there is a cone point, usually termed a needle valve, which is norniall seated in a conduit 33, communicating wit the valve seat 36. A valve 29, having in-' tegral therewith a tube26 of a size to pass up inside of the tube 19, and on the lower side of said valve are three laterally extending guides 30 which insure the. proper sea ting of the valve. A hole is made through the valve into the aforesaid tube 41nd is threaded to receive a screw bolt 25,

having an oval head 28 and a threaded portion 39 and said bolt has a reduced extension which isfree to move up and down in the hole- 31 and when in a normal position, the upper end. is adjacent the upper valve stem 43. Said bolt is provided with a locknut 27. Around the tube 19 is placed a spiral spring 20, which bears against the member 17 and the valve 29 which insures the seating of the valve.

It is to be observed the bolt-25 can be set in any desired position to compensate for the wear of the upper valve stem 43 and to contact itat the desired moment either raised or turned down so that the lower valve is operated without contacting the upper valve stem as would be the case if gasolene was used and the gas valve was to remain out of operation.

Having described the construction and assembling of my device, I will now describe its operation generally.

When I desire to operate an engine with gasolene, the bolt 25 is turned down so that in its upward flight it will not impinge the valve stem 43, and the upward movement of the valve 29 is limited by the tube 19. What I claim is When the air forces the valve up, as when In a device of the character described, a
